"unpretentiously" poems
#30 | 31 Poems for August 2016
You’re introverted in ways that others find offensive.
But you’re different, you’ve acquired my entire attention.
Beautiful cocoa butter skin, your complexion is truly a blessing.
I don’t know what tomorrow brings, I just hope that you’ll be in it.
I don’t know if tomorrow will come but I pray that you’ll be in it.
Sometimes these words fail me, but fortunately you never do.
I often find metaphors in the spaces between your fingers.
I regularly pray to God and unpretentiously thank Him for your existence.
Even though I barely say much, I know He’s always listening.
I often find metaphors encrypted in the midst of your silence.
You can always talk to me; I am always willing to listen to you.
You’re introverted in ways that others find offensive.
You’re different, something that not everyone knows how to love.

I fell in love with the way he keeps himself
so full, so sure, so arrogantly handsome yet so humbly beautiful
I fell inlove with him for all the times he stayed
through all the beating, through all the cheating,
through all the bad and good
I fell in love with his words
the way they roll out of his mouth through the clever words he speak and into my soul, he envelops me with every decibel he forms
I fell inlove with him, because he is true, because he is him
I fell in love with the way he looks at things that astound him,
the way the crease forms between his bushy brows,
you know he's thinking, you know he's about to say something
you know when he looks at you, so straight into your eyes you would think he has feelings for you,
so deep into me that the brilliant comeback I've thought of all of last night has crumbled and vanished only to be replaced by you
so then you caught me, words, out of breath, out of mind
you asked me, "what do you think?"
I thought, of how unpretentiously gorgeous you look
of the tax computation that made you question yourself, if u were in the right course
i thought of why you were so inlove with her,
I think of why I love him
but I think I'm in love with you
So I said, " I don't know"

how could one
be so gentle
as she whispers love
so unpretentiously
so gracefully
in my ears
how could one
hold my hand
and keep me warm
when the wind was unstable
singing beautiful chorus of serenity
she took my hand
when I fall into
infinite hole of chaos
taking every teardrops
from my glistening orbs
she collected every
scattered piece of me
and put it back together
when I couldn't
she is my eyes
when I can't see past
my own stumbling block
and help me
get it through
in the end
she will always be
the one who lands
silent kisses
of composure
every time I whisper
"I love you."
Sincerely,
your daughter.

If I could
rip my skin off
to get out
of this prison
unpretentiously
you’ll see
the color of my skin
does not fashion
who I am
I would!
